I have tried to figure this out for some weeks now, but I cannot solve the problem.

WORDFAST works fine with me, but I still only know the basics. My translation memory is a mess and I have not done any compression job - that is more that I am able to take right now.

The problem is that the system crashes every now and then, due to \"insufficient WORD memory\" (I have WORD 97 on PC, boosted RAM up to 256, does not help). I searched on the net (can\'t get into Yves Champdollion\'s FAQ because of Yahoo). I found that I should increase the WORD memory on normal.dot.

No clue how to do that. It is not well explained. One possibility is going through HKEY something. How and where to find it?

I would be extremely grateful for help. Anyone out there with the same problem?

Many thanks, grand merci

Maya

The Wordfast mailing lists are peer-to-peer groups, forums for Wordfast users. Discussions are welcome in the spirit of mutual respect and professionalism. Beside the usual netiquette, the following 2 points should be upheld:

quality over quantity. Write only if and when necessary, avoiding matters unrelated to the group; but don\'t feel too shy to ask obvious questions anyway;

in the \"Subject\" line, put a short description of what the mail is really about, so that people who are not interested do not need to open the mail to find out they\'re not interested. Avoid cryptic subjects like \"Frm Snowy to BigSun: about you-know-what\", use rather \"Cleanup, AR->UR\".

Every post will remind you of the easy, one-step unsubscribe procedure. If your language does not have its own mailing list, you can join the English mailing list, where broken (approximate) English is not a problem.

Wordfast may be the latest hype, but from what I have seen here, it strikes me as a pretty complicated and complex product.

In addition, I am always a bit worried when \"third-party software\" becomes closely intertwined with other standard software such as WORD - that usually ends in disaster (Trados does some weird things to WORD too).

I much more prefer those \"stand-alone\" programs such as SDLX or DéjàVu; at least, they don\'t interfere with the source program. But I am glad to hear that you worked out your problem .
